THE Milwaukee Sentinel ridicules
Carter Harrison's message in which he
takes credit for the progress the city has
made during his administration. The
Sentinel very pertinently suggests that
something may be due to the enterprise
of citizens and its favorable location.
Carter is reasoning on the same basis as
the protectionists who claim the growth
of the country in wealth, population and
general prosperity, is due to the system
of protection. The Sentinel may try
ridicule upon the modest assumptions of
these men with fully as good cause as it
has in puncturing Carriers pretensions.

GENERAL BRAGG is In position to say
Il told you So" in reference to the inter
state commerce law. He was clear
headed enough to perceive how the law
would work and voted and spoke against
it, though In doing SO he admitted he
ran the risk of being accused as hired
attorney of railroads. His view of the
matter is now generally regarded as cor
rect. The law has cured no evil while 1t
has introduced a number of new ones.
1t makes many of the things complained
of and which it was designed to remedy,
mandatory and roads can charge the
extortion which they now fearlessly prac-
tice, to the law. The pass system has
not been abolished wholly; indeed the
worst features remain, while that portion
of il which could work no injury has
been annulled.
1t is a difficult matter to secure rail-
road legislation. The people and the
roads are both obstacles The people
blindly applaud any bill which is sup
posed to curtail the power of the roads.
| Indeed, the more the law Expresses, the
more enthusiastic are they in its support.
No attention is given to its provisions;
its desirabihty is summed up in the fact
of its being against the roads" This
was the case with the interstate bill
The Pilot, in common with many other
| papers was guilty of the mistake above
mentioned, and criticised General Bragg
| for his course on the bill.
The roads themselves can defeat legis
lation which limits their power in the
interests of the general public. They
made no attempt to defeat the interstate
law, circumstance in itself going tC
show that they understood that it woulC
work TO their advantage. The law vii
hardly be repealed. That would be al
admission that congress is incompetent
to deal with railroad affairs and woulC
practically place the roads beyond the
| legislative department. The law viii bt
amended without much doubt, and i'm
proved thereby. But it never vii
become what it was popularity thought
to be after its passage.

CHAMBERLAIN brutal speech on the
Irish people, delivered at Ayr, Scotland.
last week has earned him the undying
hostility of that people. The Irish peo-
pie have many faults and it would be
well if they could be cured of them. But
to charge as Chamberlain did, that they
demand liberty to outrage women is a
libel so transparent that it cannot but
react on the author of it. The Irish
people are singularly free from any
offense against womanly virtue. The
prize fighters. ballot box suffers, repeat
ers and drunkards in the large cities are
largely Irish. But in the calendar Of
crimes against women the name of an
Irishman seldom appears. The audience,
largely Scotch. plainly showed disap-
proval of the speech and Chamberlain
tried to modify his words He has
received threatening letters since the
delivery Of his speech and affects to
believe .L,,at an attempt Will be made to
murder him.

The veto of the high license bill by
Gov. Hill of New York is really laughable
for its transparent demagogy. He has
captured the whiskey vote without doubt
But he puts his veto on grounds which
bear a striking resemblance to Nasby's
humorous output at the Confederate
cross roads. New York and Brooklyn,
reasons this sapient candidate for the
democratic nomination for the presidency,
are democratic cities. They should not
be oppressed by high license law which
does not affect republican cities. Gov
ernor Hill may learn that the democracy
of to-day thinks it is just as well to give
some little attention to other matters
than the prosperity of the whiskey shop.

THE result of the Arensdorf trial in
Sioux City is surprise to every one;
Eleven of the jurors were for acquittal
and only one for conviction. SO many
witnesses testified directly to seeing
Arensdorf shoot Haddock that people
believed a majority of the jury would
favor conviction. The man who held out
is farmer, O'Connell. The jurors had
plentiful supply of whiskey through
the trial. The foreman of the jury spoke
rather acrimoniously to the Judge of
O'Connell in holding out against such a
majority O'Connell with tears In his
eyes said it was not stubborness, but he
had taken an oath to do what was right
and if he was kept in the jury room for
five months he would not change his vote,
as he believed Arensdorf guilty. The
defense claims that the state purchased
O'Connell. On the other hand O'Connell
says the defense knew during the pro-
gress of the trial that the jury would
stand eleven to one for acquittal, and
that he was that one. He also says that
the defense asked him to name his price
but refuses to say through whom the
offer came.

THE interview with George William
Curtis on Cleveland's candidacy, has at
tracted an unusual degree of attention
Curtis says Cleveland cannot be reelected
because he cannot carry New York. He
is most pronounced in his commentator
of Cleveland's administration and declares
it in all respects fully up to the ex-
they would again support him. But the
independent vote in New York is not
sufficient to overcome the democratic
detection, and the winning candidate
must have New York. Curtis's expression
of preference for Cleveland to Edmunds
will be surprise to those who felt they
understood the mugwump.

4 VERY unfortunate thing happened in
ole of the schools in the town of Mil
waukce one day last week. A teacher
was Furnishing a pupil when the boy
dropped dead. The punishment did not
appear to be very severe and it was
thought the boy died from heart disease
induced by the shock, but coroner's
inquest showed that the boys neck was
broken. The school was a very unruly
one and the teacher had notified the
board that he would abandon the con-
tract. The fatal day was the last day he
was to teach. There was talk of lynching
the man. but this Eas thoughtless in
liignation. The teacher suffered as much
from remorse rs the parents of the child
from q sense of loss. He was arrested
and is now in jail awaiting his trial.

OFFENSIVE PARTISANSHIP.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your last issue, In
commenting on the new apportionment
of assembly districts, you complain of the
| treatment of the minority. One would
| think that every unprecedented person
would agree with you in all you said In
condemnation of such wrong; but Is 1T
not possible that it may have been done
| to get even" with some similar acts of
| injustice from the other side wherever
| it is in the majority? We all know
that whichever party is in power it is too
apt to think that might makes right"
| 1t is to be deplored that such actions, and
| similar ones, are not always condemned
by newspapers of both parties at the same
time. But is not this state of affairs
| largely the direct result of the teachings
of such papers and political speakers in
general, who preach that "to the victors
| belong the spoils;" that sticking to party
through thick and thin is the greatest
virtue of citizen; and whether right or
wrong the party cannot be allowed to
| suffer a defeat. One often hears men say
that they have never voted anything but
their parties straight ticket (some might
even go further and include their fathers
and grandfathers as having voted for the
| though they had done a commendable
thing upon which they could pride them
selves, something for which any and all
wrongs they might ever have committed
ought to be forgiven them. Partisan
papers and partisan speakers often do
their utmost to convert some of those of
the opposite party to believe as they do,
or as they profess to believe, and if sue
cessful, sometimes sheer at such "con-
verts" as men who ought to be despised,
like traitors; while if every man should
vote with the same party, straight al
ways, it would only be necessary to hold
one election, keep a record of same and
refer all questions which are now decided
by elections, to the leaders of the party
which is shown to be in the majority.
There is no doubt but that newspapers
WELD great power in politics, and as
long as partisan papers consider it their
first duty to their party to defend its
every action, or even apparently &C
quiesce in its wrong-dOings by silence,
50 long will they find good reasons to
complain of one party taking undue
advantage of another whenever oppor-
tunity offers.
Looking at the situation from an un-
biased point of view, it would seem plain
that nothing would so effectually stamp
out the mistaken notion that "all is fair
in politics" Gas it is said to be in love and
war; and party above everything else, y
as a little more independence-mu
wumpry if you please partisan news
papers as well as in politics generally.
The Pilot has been very fair on the
whole, in criticising both parties, and its
readers will believe your statement, that
if your own party had made similar ap-
portionment for its benefit, you would
condemn it just the same.
FAIR PLAY.

THE house of commons was the scene
of wild uproar on Friday night of last
week. A Major Saunderson, an Irish
landlord, whose rent roll amounts to
$4,000 per year was speaking on the
coercion bill and charged that the
National League was supported by
criminals, dynamiters and murderers
across the Atlantic" and that the Irish
members were the associates OF men
whom they knew TO be murderers. Mr..
Healy, an Irish member at once called
Saunderson a liar. The speaker asked
Healy to withdraw the expression and he
agreed to do so if Saunderson would
retract his charge This Saunderson
refused to do and Healy repeated he was
liar. Healy was then suspended from
the house as he refused to retract the
expression. Immediately after Healy was
elected. Redmond, another Irish member.
jumped up and speaking of Saunderson
said, II say re is a liar too"
SaundersCn proceeded with his speech
when Sexton, another Irish member in
terrupted him to ask whether he per,
sisted in his statement that the Irish
associated with murderers. Saunderson
would not retract and Sexton called him
"a willful, cowardly liar" and in addition
if he had him outside he would thrash
him within an inch of his life" Saunder,
son hesitatingly Withdrew the words be
used and Sexton recalled his words
Saunderson subsequently made the

instantly responded that ''he was a lial
